She's Kind of a Big Deal: Leaving The World Better Than We Found It with Secretary Deb Haaland

Could you imagine that a bakery job at 15 would shape the way someone leads a nation?

In this episode, we sit down with Secretary Deb Haaland, former Secretary of the Interior and now candidate for governor of New Mexico.

Deb shares how her early lessons in hard work and humility shaped her belief that leadership begins with empathy and discipline, not power. We talk about how running became her way to think and heal, why "Be Fierce" isn't just a campaign slogan, and how motherhood has grounded her leadership in compassion and courage.

We also discuss the connection between public service and personal values, and what it really takes to build a future where families and the planet can thrive together.

Deb Haaland is the 54th Secretary of the Interior, a proud member of Laguna Pueblo, and she is now running for governor of New Mexico. She's dedicated to protecting public lands, empowering communities, and ensuring future generations inherit a world worth caring for.
